The client will be installed using a MSI package. The default install path of the client is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Flowscape\Flowscape Desk Check In Module

When installation completes the module will start, and it will also auto start when a user logs in.

 

The installation can also be performed in quiet mode.

  • You may have to change the name of the file, in the example below the name of the file is usb-dongle-check-in-signed-1.8.0.msi
  • Make sure to change the key "SERVERURL" to point to the Flowscape server (Argus), ask Flowscape if you do not have this information.
  • The key "LINKPOPUPENABLED" will enable a pop up on the users computer if the user has not linked the account.

msiexec /i "usb-dongle-check-in-signed-1.8.0.msi" /quiet SERVERURL="https://change_me.flowscape.se:443" BASICAUTHENABLED="true" LINKPOPUPENABLED="true" VID="0781,090C,8644,064F" PID="556B,1000,8005,2AF9"

Linking the account with O365

Introduction

 

For the USB Desk Check-in to be able to display the username on the map desk, the user is required to enter the O365 username and password. If this is not done, the desk will still switch to red (used), but it cannot display the username.

 

Automatic Popup:
The system may detect if the user is not logged in to the USB Desk Check-in software, in which case an automatic popup will tell the user to click on “Link account”.
When done, proceed from Step 4 below.
